Internet for schools will provide the world
The Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications hopes that by the third quarter of 2007, within the framework of the national project “Education”, at least 95% of Russian schools will be connected to the Internet. As promised earlier, each school provides a connection channel with a bandwidth of at least 128 kilobits per second. However, already the access provider RTKomm, which won the tender for the school Internetization in September 2006, faced a shortage of channels - the schoolchildren are so actively using the Network.
According to Synterra , which includes the operator RTKomm, the general contractor was able to provide 21,500 schools with access last year. The volume of traffic consumed by them is constantly growing, and now the monthly indicators of some educational institutions reach 6-8 GB. According to forecasts of Synterra, this growth will only increase in the future, because by September 2007 the number of connected schools will increase almost 2.5 times (to 53 thousand). Illustrating the situation, the company reports that the volume of traffic from educational institutions could reach 21 petabytes this year.
For 10 thousand Russian schools, traffic for budgetary funds is ready to be bought by the state, reports Regnum . But, anyway, RTKomm feels the need to increase the capacity of the backbone transport network. In this connection, large Russian operators were offered to exchange free infrastructure resources or to buy them at market value. The proposal was received by a number of companies, including MTS, Vimpelcom, MegaFon, Golden Telecom, Comstar-UTS, TransTeleCom, etc. Their official responses are awaited.

As Sinterra CEO Vitaly Sluzen explained to Vedomosti , it is still difficult to estimate the company's probable costs for renting or buying channels - this will be possible only after negotiations with operators. Maybe the operators will even have to finish building some sections of the networks, he said, adding that Synterra is ready to pay for this construction from its own pocket.
